Proper
storage for Pinon & Pine nuts
Freshly
harvested pine nuts have moisture in them. Pinon nuts will
lose weight as they dry. This is normal. They need to "breath".
Avoid air tight sealed containers like plastic bags or plastic
food containers because without fresh air they will eventually
go rancid.
If you
do not plan on eating Pinon nuts right away it is a good idea
to store them in a thoughtful way. Pine Nuts and Pinon nuts
need to be stored in a dry area that does not get too hot.
Small amounts can be placed in a paper bag or a cotton sack.
If you do it this way, they will eventually dry up and get
hard. This does not affect the flavor at all. If you live
in a humid enviornement, try to keep the pinon nuts in a non
humid area. Do not freeze Pinon nuts.
